About The Position

We are looking for a Showroom Partnerships Manager to join our Partnerships team at the Babylist NYC SoHo Showroom — our second flagship experiential space, set to open in Q3 2026 New York City. Building on the success and learnings from our Beverly Hills Showroom, the NYC Showroom is designed to deepen trust with families, drive registry conversion, and showcase Babylist’s leadership in the baby category in one of the most dynamic retail and media markets in the world. Building on the success of our Beverly Hills showroom, the NYC location is designed to build trust with families, increase registry conversions, and highlight Babylist’s leadership in the baby category in a key retail and media market.
In this role, you will be the primary executional partner contact for brands activating in the NYC Showroom, owning the day-to-day operations that bring our brand experiences to life. You will work with partners on their on-site product placement, partner showcases and brand pop-up activations. You will also engage with partners and guests during Registry Weekends, brand events and influencer showers, to ensure every partner execution is seamless, on-brand, and measurably impactful.

This is an ideal role for an organized, client-obsessed self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, experiential environment and is excited to help build something truly new from the ground up.

Requirements

• Based in the New York City area, with the ability to work onsite at our SoHo Showroom 3–5 days per week during peak partner timing, with the option to work remote when partners aren’t in the Showroom.
• 5–7 years of professional experience in experiential partnerships, account management, experiential marketing, integrated marketing, or media — ideally at a media company, agency, or brand with a strong IRL events or activations component.
• Hands-on experience executing in-real-life (IRL) brand activations, experiential programs, pop-ups, or brand events, with a demonstrated ability to manage logistics and partner relationships.
• Experience working with brand clients — agencies and advertisers — in an account management capacity, and a track record of delivering excellent partner customer service.
• Proven ability to manage media or partnership campaigns end-to-end, including social and influencer amplification, with a sharp eye for reporting and identifying performance opportunities.
• Energetic, enthusiastic, and collaborative — you thrive in a team environment and across cross-functional groups.
• Great interpersonal skills: poise, tact, and diplomacy to navigate sensitive situations and client relationships with grace.
• Excitement about helping build something new — the NYC Showroom is a ground-up effort and you’re energized by the opportunity to shape it.
• A genuine love of experiential environments and the belief that in-person brand moments can be meaningful, memorable, and measurable.
• You're comfortable and enthusiastic about working in an AI-forward environment where AI tools are part of daily operations
• You embrace using technology to enhance your work while keeping people at the center
